Chapter 421: Second Martial Soul, Sixth Soul Skill
"Quiet!"
Seeing that the scene was becoming so heated it was nearly uncontrollable, the Dean stepped forward and projected her voice across the entire square.
"You all already know that this time, your senior Qin Jian has come representing Wuhun Academy. If you all approve of him, then our Tianshui Academy will be renamed Wuhun Academy Tianshui Branch, and you will also graduate under the name of Wuhun Academy..."
Her gaze was as gentle as water: "Children, this matter is closely related to every one of you, so I do not want to make the decision for you. Next, Qin Jian will say a few words to you. How you vote depends entirely on your own hearts; there is no need for hesitation."
After her words reached everyone's ears, the students' fanatical emotions clearly subsided a little.
Regarding their alma mater, many people would complain about it with their mouths, but would not allow others to say a single bad word about it. Now, however, Qin Jian's goal was to make them give up the name of Tianshui Academy.
This was not a decision that was easy to make, even though they all knew it was imperative; otherwise, Tianshui Academy would have to endure immense pressure.
But, with so many people here, if I alone choose to oppose it, it shouldn't affect the big picture, right...
This was the thought in many people's minds.
Qin Jian was well aware of this.
He also knew that Tianshui Academy was not intentionally making things difficult for him, but was protecting his reputation, hoping he could persuade these junior schoolmates to preserve the good name he had held at Tianshui Academy for many years.
But Qin Jian also knew how hard it was to gain everyone's approval. Even if he spoke eloquently, it was impossible to gain everyone's approval, and in the end, there would certainly still be criticism.
So, what should be done?
What kind of situation could make people lose their heads and support something on the spot without distinguishing right from wrong?
Of course, it's... turning them into... crazy fan girls!
Qin Jian stepped forward a few paces, placing himself at the very front, under everyone's gaze.
Then he tilted his head slightly and said softly to Hu Liena not far away: "Nana, come, stand behind me."
"Ah? What for?"
Hu Liena walked behind him out of curiosity.
Qin Jian turned back to face everyone, then with his hands behind his back, he quietly grabbed Hu Liena's small hand.
The higher-ups behind them: "......"
Hum.
But at this moment, the light of martial souls suddenly flickered gently on Qin Jian and Hu Liena, slowly merging into one, and a flash of pink light vanished from both of their eyes simultaneously.
It was just that Hu Liena was blocked by Qin Jian, so they did not see it.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill... Charm of Light!"
Qin Jian whispered in his heart, his invisible and colorless Second Martial Soul's Sixth Soul Ring rose, using the Martial Soul Fusion Skill that belonged to him and Hu Liena.
No one could perceive what had happened; only the Soul Saint Dean behind them vaguely sensed the fluctuation of soul power.
"Hum!"
A light, extremely pale pink glow spread out, instantly enveloping the entire square.
A faint trace of pink light suddenly appeared in the eyes of every female student.
They only felt their vision blur slightly, and then when they looked at Qin Jian again, they suddenly felt that he had become even better looking.
Regardless of whether they were naturally fond of his type, their hearts were pounding wildly.
His brows and eyes, his sharp features, his figure, his every move, were all like a love potion, instantly making all the girls... lose their heads.
Thus, under the shining sun, Qin Jian's face, which had remained cold, thawed slightly at this moment, revealing an extremely faint smile.
He spoke slowly in a pleasant voice: "I hope you can approve of me, is that okay?"
The higher-ups were all speechless.
Do you really think you are a national heartthrob and husband of the people, someone who can make girls line up for that on the spot...
Yan Zhining quietly stepped forward and whispered: "Qin Jian, it's impossible for you to get over eighty percent approval like this. Don't look at how fanatical they were just now; that was expressing their love for you. Now that it concerns everyone's own interests, it won't be that easy."
She moved her lips rapidly and said: "You have to say that you will be the Dean of Wuhun Academy, and that you won't interfere with Tianshui Academy at all. Only then can you get the approval of most students."
But Qin Jian had no intention of saying any of this; he just stood there quietly, seemingly waiting for everyone's response.
"Qin Jian!"
Yan Zhining was getting a bit anxious.
But Hu Liena, hiding behind Qin Jian, had a very interesting little expression on her face.
She had known from the beginning that Qin Jian's Charm was incredibly powerful; after all, it was something that could even backfire on a vixen like her. So... what kind of power would their Martial Soul Fusion Skill have?
Large-scale, silent, and invisible Charm!
This ability could only be applied to one person individually, but at this moment, it was fully concentrated on Qin Jian, which caused all the girls within the range of the Charm of Light to develop a strong sense of affection and heart-fluttering for Qin Jian from the depths of their hearts.
Plus, these students had originally grown up looking at Qin Jian's portraits and already took him as an idol. Now, being charmed on top of that, how could they resist?
"Is it okay?"
Qin Jian said again at this moment.
Yan Zhining behind him was completely stunned: "My god, do you know you're going to mess this up?! By tomorrow, your reputation among the students will be ruined... How can you come back and force your alma mater like this? You'll be hated..."
"It's okay!"
"Of course it's okay!"
"Whatever Senior Qin Jian says, we'll do! We firmly support it!"
"......"
But the next moment, the girls in the entire square suddenly surged like a tide, and the earth-shattering, fanatical shouting almost overturned the teaching building.
"Wha... what... what is going on..."
Yan Zhining was dumbfounded...
She felt once again that she was an old aunt, the kind completely abandoned by society.
What kind of world is this? Can good looks really represent everything?
"Then... those willing to support me, please raise your hand, okay?"
Qin Jian tilted his head slightly and blinked his eyes: "I need your support."
"Ahhhhhhh! —"
The girls below had gone completely crazy.
"Senior is so cute! I love you, Senior! Long live Senior! Senior is Supreme!"
The chaotic screaming erupted completely, surging like a tide, scaring the Dean and the others on the high platform until their faces turned pale, thinking a rebellion was breaking out...
Seeing the forest of fair, delicate arms raised below, they finally realized what was happening.
This is... a unanimous pass?!
Not only a unanimous pass, but everyone even raised both hands—double the approval, absolute recognition, die-hard fans?
This scene was a bit too magical; it always made one feel that something wasn't quite right...
The Dean and those high-level teachers looked down in confusion, many of them with soul power surging on their bodies, wanting to figure out exactly what had happened.
"Hum..."
But at this moment, the duration of the Charm of Light ended, the pink glow in all the girls' eyes vanished, and their gazes became clear once again.
The most miraculous point of Qin Jian's version of Charm is that it can influence those of a lower level than him with almost no traces left behind.
And this time, with the bonus from the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the effect had even become group-wide.
Therefore, no one discovered that they had been charmed; they only felt that their favorability toward Qin Jian had increased significantly...
Qin Jian rarely uses this bug-like ability to influence others, because it makes him feel unreal; gaining others' affection this way is not genuine, and this goes against his own nature.
What he has always wanted is true feelings, not skill-induced ones; if it were like that, he would rather not have it.
Except for one Qian Renxue; that was because he truly had no confidence in her back then, so he cast it continuously for half a year, influencing her quite a bit through subtle, gradual means...
